Been confronted in the woods by angry rednecks twice in the last year or two. Simply amazing how polite they were to my scrawny ass when I was visibly armed. LOL, one dude was so fucking mad he was vibrating, yet oh so polite.

Cops at my door were also extraordinarily polite after they walked up and say my pump shotgun leaning on my desk.

MAGA neighbor came stomping down the street to kick my ass. (OK, I started that one.) I spun on my heel, walked inside, grabbed my Colt .45 and waited. He got the idea and went home. (He never saw it, and I never threatened.)

Contrast those with other such encounters where, well, let’s say it went much worse for me. And if you don’t believe that, you’ve never had your ass kicked or had the cops fuck you up.

While guns can be excellent deterrents, please no one think they’re magic “get off me machines”. You never draw your concealed weapon to “scare them off”. If you draw, you shoot to kill. And if you weren’t scared enough to kill, why the fuck did you draw a weapon?! The court will be asking, I assure you.

Conceal carry instructor told the class, “If you shoot someone to stop a thing from happening, you better be sure stopping that thing was worth risking life in a concrete and steel box, because that might well be the outcome.”
